About Calico

I got my start gaming with strangers online, meeting people from all over the world and learning through every story we told together. I started with D&D 5e and from there explored everything from Pathfinder 1e to Mutants & Masterminds, even circling back to the grit of Old-School Essentials. Over time, I’ve realized combat is just one piece of the puzzle. What I love most are the smaller, human moments. The drama that sparks when characters face turmoil, the choices that test them, and the bonds that grow from shared struggle. For me, the heart of every game is collaboration and the camaraderie built by telling a story together.

When I'm not running games I'm...

When I’m not behind the screen, I’m usually creating in other ways. I love diving into crafts and projects because inspiration can strike from anywhere. Some of my favorite hobbies include making custom dice and working on 3D modeling and printing projects. Creativity keeps me moving.

How Calico runs games

I love diving into the smallest details of a character’s backstory, pulling out every juicy thread to weave into the story. That childhood friend who joined a local warlord? They might show up to save you in a tight spot, but only if you do something for them in return. Maybe they even orchestrated the ambush to get you to agree. Every choice, every connection, and every past decision can come back to shape the world you’re in.
